Beginner Yoga Challenge: Half Moon Pose

Performed by Marin Jayden

Start in a lunge with the left foot forward, take a deep breath and lean forward toward the left leg, placing your hands on the floor.

Keeping it straight, lift your right leg behind you and try to make it parallel with the floor.

Straighten your left leg.

Lift your right arm toward the sky, perpendicular to the floor.

Really open up your hips and shoulders so they’re facing the side wall.

Look up at the sky.

Modifications: If need be, you can use a yoga brick under your left hand. If you can an advanced skill level, have the lower hand hover 1-2 inches above the floor and balance with the foot on the floor.
